During the filming of "The Forger," Boston residents are seeing actor John Travolta in many places across town, just as Marion County residents bump into the Anthony resident now and then. Bostonians are reporting, and documenting, their brushes with Travolta, who has been filming the art-heist drama in the city whose Red Sox just won the World Series.

Travolta and wife Kelly Preston, in fact, attended a playoff game with the Tampa Bay Rays before the series with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Boston Globe online posted a photo of Travolta posing with female fans attending a birthday party at the Liberty Hotel.

"The ladies tell us that when the elevator opened and they saw Travolta inside, they jumped in and took pictures with him," Mark Shanahan and Meredith Goldstein reported for The Globe. They also reported Travolta and Preston stopped by the Red Lantern in Boston to celebrate her birthday in October.

Later that month, he posed for photos with state and local officials while filming at South Bay House of Correction. And, according to rumorfix.com, Travolta greeted residents of a mobile home park in Revere while filming nearby.
